Before WWII, Canada and the UK would exchange goods very frequently. The UK was the second most important destination for Canadian imports; however, the UK now only imports 1.5% of all Canadian shipments and only 2.6% of Canadian imports now come from the UK. For Canada, the US has always been a major factor in trading. Ever since 1670 when The Hudson's Bay was created, the US and Canada would frequently trade goods. In 1994 Canada, The United States and Mexico all signed a free trade agreement (NAFTA) that has helped and allowed much more trading between these three countries.
Who does Canada now trade with?
Now today, Japan has replaced the UK as Canada’s second most important trading partner, although Japan is not nearly as important to Canada as it is to the US. Trading between the US and Japan are much less important. All most all of Japan's trades to Canada are highly important objects that we use in our day, such as vehicles, vehicle parts, phones or other electronic goods. Another major trading partner with Canada would be china with 4.1% of all Canadian exports. Even though China and Japan are very important trading partners to Canada, the US is still Canada’s number one trading partner with 76.2% of all Canadian exports.
United States: US$296.5 billion (76.2% of total Canadian exports)
Without a doubt, in the near future the US will remain Canada’s biggest and most important trading partner. Also, it is expected that trading with China will increase by at least 7% by 2025 and trading with southern countries like Mexico, Brazil and maybe even India will most likely double. We expect countries in the Eurozone to grow at least 6% by 2025 as well. Trades with Mexico are expected to grow; however, if Trump terminates the NAFTA agreement, trades between Canada and Mexico will decrease. Luckily for Canada, we still would have the FTA (free trade agreement) between Canada and the US, that allows free trade between the two countries.
